Richard Peter Booyzen
TWENTY-FOUR, MARRIED, a SAWYER of 18 Anderson Street, Turffontein — dead of INFLUENZA AND PNEUMONIA after eleven days on 25 October 1918, the centre of Black October, and buried at Brixton on the 27th. Not in this archive before today. Added as a ninth child of Willem Hermanus and Kathleen Barry on three grounds and no document: RICHARD PETER is her own brother's name; a birth about 1894 falls exactly in the gap between her daughter of 1891 and her son of 1901; and his registration gives his birthplace as the CAPE OF GOOD HOPE, which is the migration every one of her children made. A Transvaal death registration names no parents, so this stays INFERRED. And he was NOT A SOLDIER — which kills the best explanation this archive had for his mother's military pension.

A dossier is every mention of a person anywhere in this archive, gathered automatically after the site is built and linked back to the page it appears on. Identity here is by NAME, not by resolved individual — where two people share a name they share this page, and the archive says so rather than guessing. Nothing on a dossier page is new evidence; it is the same evidence, brought together.
